Post season picks.

2 out of 4 isn't bad.

Okay, it is. Whatever.

Green Bay, oh.... Green Bay. I'm sure that game was lost due to horrible reffing. And don't say it wasn't, anyone with at least one good eye could have seen that offensive pass interference foul made by Arizona's Firzgerald, or the face mask to Aaron Rodgers by Michael Adams. But I digress. I hate the Pack by instinct, as I am a Minnesota fan... But I'm all about playing fair. That wasn't fair.

And how 'bout them COWBOYS? Realistically, the Dallas and Minnesota show down will be tough on my end. I'm certain most professionals have Dallas picked over Minnesota. But I've got Minnesota picked over Dallas. Partly because I'm a Vikings fan, and partly because Favre doesn't want his final season to end like that. It isn't all about Favre either. It's about his weapons. We shall see...

Rice, anyone?

I'm going to pick New Orleans over Arizona. Living in Who Dat nation, I have to say I am completely and utterly sick of the Saints. However, there is a HUGE difference who I think will win, and who I want to win. New Orleans will win, and I foresee a low scoring game.

Baltimore over Indy. Why isn't everyone giving this Raven team more credit? This one was tough for me to pick. I've sat here at my desk at work looking over the statistics for at least 25 minutes (work? what work?). Indianapolis has Baltimore beat all over paper. But, you know... I'm a sucker for upsets.

And although I am a sucker for upsets, this is one upset that just will not happen. I'm picking San Diego over the New York Jets. Honestly, I see San Diego clobbering New York, stomping through the AFC championship, and possibly winning the Super Bowl. They're good.

But what do I know?


HAHA. There are so many things I could say about this. So many.

Playoff Picks, Wild Cards.

It's playoff time.

I'll start with the AFC Wild Cards.
I'm going to pick Baltimore over New England. There isn't much to say about this game, I think it will be a good battle though. Tom Brady is playing injured, and the Ravens D-Line will be after him all. day. long. And Wes Welker is out, leaving Randy Moss by his lonesome. Nevertheless, it will be a great game to see.

Cincinnati over the J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets! Despite Sunday night's loss 37-0 to the Jets, the Bengals instill a little more fear into the remaining AFC teams than New York does. Cincinnati has been such a surprising team this season, and have a lot emotionally invested into this year's playoffs. I really think they will get their ducks in a row and slap the Jets back to NY. Stat wise, comparing the two; NYJ is seemingly better, but come on. Does this pretty boy honestly scare you?

Uh... Definitely Hollywood Joe #2.

On to the NFC!

I'm going to pick Dallas over Philadelphia. The Cowboys are on fire, and they're very scary. They finished the regular season with a bang, and are rolling into the playoffs with a lot of momentum. I think so long as McNabb is shut down, the Eagles will have been defeated 3 times this year by the Boys.

...Mustache?

And finally, I am picking Green Bay over Arizona. Aaron Rodgers has become a really great QB this season. Green Bay is just an all around better team than Arizona. Also, Id love to see the Vikings get another chance to slap those cheeseheads again. ;) (I know, I talk a lot of trash.) But honestly, no one should put the Pack on the back burner, they have too much quiet talent.

Happy Playoffs, ya'll!
